RAF Southend focuses on the airport's role in the Second World War,
between October 1940 and August 1944, from when it became a fighter
station in its own right, until it became an armament practice camp
later in the war. It describes the manning and maintenance of the
forward fighter station, often under attack, and follows the
varying fortunes of the staff and personnel who were posted there,
and the highs and lows of the events, occasionally tragic, that
occurred on and around the aerodrome. It also gives in-depth
details of the numerous defensive and offensive operations carried
out by the various RAF fighter squadrons during their time based at
Southend. Through interviews with ex-staff and eyewitnesses, and
the meticulous cross-referencing of original material, this book
makes will make a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in
local, aviation or military history. Author Peter Brown is an
established local historian, with many years of research in the
Southend area.
